Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson believes America’s president must embrace America’s values.
His campaign said that is the bottom line of comments that Carson made Sunday regarding Islam’s incompatibility with the Constitution, as well as his belief that America should not have a Muslim president.
“Dr. Carson is a strict adherent to the First Amendment — freedom of religion. That includes people of all faith,” said Carson campaign spokesman Doug Watts. “He has great respect for the Muslim community, but there is a huge gulf between the faith and practice of the Muslim faith, and our Constitution and American values.”
On NBC’s “Meet the Press”, Chuck Todd asked Dr. Carson, “Should a President’s faith matter?”
“If it’s inconsistent with the values and principles of America, then of course it should matter. But if it fits within the realm of America and consistent with the Constitution, no problem,” he explained.
When asked if he thought Islam is consistent with the Constitution, Carson said, “No, I don’t, I do not.”
“I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that,” Carson added.
Carson’s spokesman said the exchange made it clear Carson would not bar a Muslim from running.
“If there’s somebody who’s of any faith, but they say things, and their life has been consistent with things that will elevate this nation and make it possible for everybody to succeed, and bring peace and harmony, then I’m with them,” said Carson, who from the start of his campaign has made a clear link between his faith and the policies he would enact as president.
Vox commented, “This is the broader context for Carson’s remarks: many grassroots Republicans see Islam as not just suspicious but a clear and present danger to America, and think the media and the political establishment are too bound by political correctness to admit it — much less fight it.”
Carson has noted that religious toleration is a hallmark of his life.
“As a Christian, I am not the least bit offended by the beliefs of Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Mormons and so forth. In fact, I am delighted to know that they believe in something that is more likely to make them into a reasonable human being, as long as they don’t allow the religion to be distorted by those seeking power and wealth,” he wrote in his book America the Beautiful in 2012.

BCN editor’s note: This article first appeared at Western Journalism.
He did not claim there was a religious test. He claimed a Muslim shouldn’t be elected president. I agree.
I totally agree.
This is such irresponsible journalism. He said he wouldn’t advocate for a Muslim to be President. He never said to restrict their right to run for President. This is why people are tuning out the media, because even this “honest journalism” is petty and childish.
People shouldn’t be forced to endorse candidates of any religious background or be labeled as a bigot. People who believe that need to grow up. Mitt Romney was questioned about being Mormon and no one made it a national story.
actually many would not vote for him because of his Mormon faith
Dr Carson has every right to voice his opinions just like anyone else . It is called the first amendment. My goodness deal folks. It was OK when Hillary in 2008 could not answer the questions about Barack Obama and his possible Muslim roots. No one said a word. Why is it a democrat can say anything and a Republican or libertarian is condemned. This media bias has to stop. No wonder why no one watches lame stream media. I am not advocating for FOX either but many are looking at the Libertarian paper online, and other news sources.
We already have a Muslim president. I can’t respect anything Ibrahim (Douglas) Cooper says. He’s the National Communications Director and spokesperson for CAIR, a controversial pro-Muslim organization with ties to terrorist groups.

Dave Hunt writes:
“Though people of good will naturally recoil from attaching blame to a major world religion itself, we can no longer afford such sentimentality. No longer dare we allow Islam to escape its undeniable responsibility. Yet former President Bush called Islam a peace-loving religion. The devastating acts of war by Islamic terrorists against the United States were greeted by naïve statements from well-intentioned government leaders to the effect that we must distinguish between terrorism perpetrated by extremist groups and Islam itself which is peaceful…Several years ago Steven Emerson produced for PBS an excellent video titled Jihad In America. Its cameras went directly inside cell groups associated with mosques here in America where eager young Muslims were being recruited for jihad against the United States. Muslim leaders are shown giving speeches about bringing America to its knees through terrorism…. terrorists act in direct obedience to Muhammad, the Qur’an, Allah and Islam. While nominal Muslims reject the idea, all Islamic scholars agree that it is the religious duty of every Muslim to use violence whenever possible to spread Islam until it has taken over the world…There is a natural reluctance to accept any statement which seems to be a prejudiced attack upon a world religion. It is the fear of such prejudice which prevents the world from facing the truth.” (Berean Call, Sept.19, 2001)
• Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat
Islam is not a religion, nor is it a cult. In its fullest form, it is a complete, total, 100% system of life, a government.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic, social, and military components. The religious component is a beard for all of the other components.
Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges. When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.
Here’s how it works:
As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:
United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%
At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:
Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:
France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — Muslim 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish sharia law over the entire world.
When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:
Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%
After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:
Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%
At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:
Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%
From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of nonbelievers of all other religions (including nonconforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of sharia law as a weapon, and jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:
Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%
After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is ongoing in:
Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of “Dar-es-Salaam” — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word, such as in:
Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%
Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.
“Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; the tribe against the world, and all of us against the infidel.” — Leon Uris, “The Haj”
It is important to understand that in some countries, with well under 100% Muslim populations, such as France, the minority Muslim populations live in ghettos, within which they are 100% Muslim, and within which they live by sharia law. The national police do not even enter these ghettos. There are no national courts, nor schools, nor non-Muslim religious facilities. In such situations, Muslims do not integrate into the community at large. The children attend madrassas. They learn only the Koran. To even associate with an infidel is a crime punishable with death. Therefore, in some areas of certain nations, Muslim Imams and extremists exercise more power than the national average would indicate.
Today’s 1.5 billion Muslims make up 22% of the world’s population. But their birth rates dwarf the birth rates of Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, and all other believers. Muslims will exceed 50% of the world’s population by the end of this century.
Islam is evil, pure and simple! I wouldn’t want a Muslim president either!
Apologies for the reposts, but there is no edit button.
“Islam is not consistent, thus not compatible with the Judeo-Christian Values and Principles of America, the U.S. Constitution, Sovereign Individual Freedom and Liberty” – Dr. Ben Carson nailed it on the head, and like Trump, is not 1 ounce of 1 iota fearful of any media politically correct backlash because he states the truth as it is, not as they want it to be. But then again, neither is the Democrat Party. But unfortunately Blacks in America have been indoctrinated, fooled, led to believe that Democrats are and have always been their friend, the party and people of empowerment and support. lol The Party and people of Slavery, Kim Crow Segregation, and the KKK is what the Democrat party has been, and still is, except now Democrats enslave Blacks under the guise of big govt social welfare dependency, like crack cocaine, once addicted, your addicted for life. On top of which Democrats have literally torn apart their family structure to ensure it-their dependency / political loyalty stays that way. So it it any wonder Liberals / Democrats ally and align with Islam against America / Americans, with Obama as the Socialist Marxist Islamist-n-Chief, whose pretentious Christian faith is a Islamic Taqiyya sham. One only needs to look at the actions and or inactions of Obama to see the truth. Does any actually believe Obama’s willful enabling of ISIS to not be destroyed by our Military is any accident or act of incompetence. Does anyone actually believe Obama’s willful enabling of Iran to mass produce nuclear weapons / bombs to attack and destroy America, the State of Israel, along with the whole of western civilization- an accident and or an act of incompetence. lol
7 years into Obama’s destructive reign as President, and this is NOW just being publically discussed.
I agree with Dr. Carson for thisareason. In Islam, one is not free to believe and worship outside of that religion. Islam is a religious and political system. An individual is not free to leave Islam to convert to another faith without being threatened with death. This nation was founded on the principle of freedom of speech and religion. Even now, to say anything against Islam one is accused of being Islamophobic (even if it is true) Please read the Koran for yourself — stop believing what others want you to hear. Sharia law is antithetical to our Constitution which was founded on Christian principles, like it or not.
I think Dr. Carson had it right! We should not consider electing a Muslim as our president. If a Muslim was running, he/she should be required to swear on a King James Christian Bible that he/she would NOT try to install any Islamic Laws into America, or try to change our Constitution and Bill of Rights.
On second thought, We should never allow a Muslim to even run for president of this country. The one we have now is as close as we ever need to be to a Muslim in our White House!
I agree. Tolerance does not mean full blown acceptance. They are already in high places in our government changing policy.
Great comment from a good, decent and honorable man. He’ll never make it in Washington!
Islam is a political system disguised as a religion. Their Qu’ran chapter 18:26 actually states that Allah’s word is the Government. Dr. Carson has no problem with a Muslim being POTUS so long as they do not strictly adhere to Sharia Law which is the absolute antithesis of the Constitution and our Judeo/Christian values. Dr. Carson was absolutely correct! The politically correct media, as usual is way off the mark.
